ORGANISATIONS, charities and businesses across the town will be taking part in the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning tomorrow.

The events, overseen by Macmillan Cancer Support, are being run to help in the battle against cancer, and while many are coffee mornings, some are adding extra elements to help raise the cash.

Among them is Skurrays, in Hillsmead, which is bringing a dose of celebrity to the occasion.

Dating from a past event, the car dealer has a large number of cardboard cutouts of film, music and sports stars which will be auctioned off to raise more money.

There will be a host of famous names for people to buy, from Justin Bieber to Ant and Dec. There is already demand for some of the cutouts, with someone already bidding £50 for David Beckham.

Mike Flay, a sales executive at Skurrays, said: “We held a VIP event several weeks ago and as part of the set-up there were lots of cardboard cut-outs.

“We decided that to help raise awareness for charity we would auction them off. Macmillan is a charity which is close to our owner and a lot of us who work here.

“As well as the auction we are holding a raffle for a luxury hamper so people can come along to take part in that or just have some coffee and cake.”

Across the town there are lots of other coffee mornings taking place as part of the charity’s biggest annual fundraiser.

One such event is being run by the Grange Federation Schools in Stratton.

Both the junior and infant pupils will come together for the coffee morning, dressed in green to mark the occasion.

Organiser Angela Pugh, of the Swindon Macmillan Fundraising Committee and a mum at the school, said: “We have such a lovely school and I am delighted and very grateful for the support we have received.

“It’s great to see the children all involved and so keen to help.” Dozens of events are taking place tomorrow at a wide variety of locations across the town. All will be providing coffee and cake for those who drop by, all for a small donation.

Last year’s event managed to raise more than £20 million.
